ring portion gitu dinally on the bar 7 to the desired position after which the lug 21 enters the other notch 10 for retaining the bracket 11 in adjusted position. The lug is usually withdrawn from the notches 10 by pressing downwardly on the lip 20 and causing the keeper 17 to fulcrum on the edge of the bar 7 which is remote from the lip 20. The comparatively large openings 19 will permit this movement of the keeper 17. r l s It is believed that the many advantages of a bobbin holder in accordance with this invention will be readily understood, and

although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction may be had which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed. V

l/Vhat is claimed is: V

1. A bobbin holder of the characterv described comprising a pair of opposed, complemental brackets having means for rotata bly supporting .he ends of the bobbin, means for mounting one of the brackets on a support, and means for shiftably mounting the other bracket on said one bracket for sliding adjustment toward or away from same, the last named means including a bar mounted on said one bracket and projecting therefrom. and having a longitudinal slot in its proj ectprovided with spaced notches in one side wall, said other bracket being shiftably disposed on said projecting portion of the bar, and pins anchored insaid other bracket and extending therefrom through the slot for travel therein.

2. A bobbin holder of the character described comprising a pair of opposed, complemental brackets having means for rotatably supporting the ends of the bobbin, means for mounting one of the brackets on a support, and means for shiftably mounting the other bracket on said one bracket for sliding adjustment toward or away from same, the

last'named means including a bar mounted ;on said onebracket and pro ecting therefrom and having. a longitudinal slot in its proed on the pins, a 111 projecting from the keeper and selectively engageable in the notches, and springs mounted on the pins and engaged with the keeper in a manner to yieldingly retain the lug in the notches.

3. A bobbin holder of the character described'comprising a pair of opposed complemental brackets having means for rotatably supporting the ends of the bobbin, means for mounting one of the brackets on a support, means for shiftably mounting the other bracket on said one bracket for sliding adjustment toward or away from same, the last nam'e'd'means including a bar mounied on said one bracket and projecting therefrom and, having a longitudinal slot in its proj ecting portion provided with spaced notches in one side wall, said other bracket being shiftably disposed on the projecting portion of the bar, pins rigidly anchored in said other bracket and extending therefrom through the slot for travel therein, a plate mounted on the free end portions of the pins and extending therebetween, akeeper mounted for sliding and rocking movement on the pins, coil springs encircling 1 he pins and each having onefend engaged with the plate and its other end engaged with the keeper in a manner toyieldingly urge said keeper against the bar, and'a lug projecting from the keeper and engageable int-he notches for retaining the said other bracket in adjusted position.

, t. A bobbin holder of the character described comprising a pair of opposed complemental, angular brackets having means ..-t

.for re. atably supporting the ends of the .bobbin, means for mount-mg one of the brackets on a support, a bar rigidly mounted on said one bracket and projecting therefrom and having a longitudinal slot in lts projecting portion provided with spaced notches in one side wall thereof, the other bracket being shiftably disposed on said projecting portion of the bar, pins anchored in said other bracket and extending therefrom through the slot for travel therein, nuts threaded on the free end portions of the pins, a plate mounted on the pins and engaged on the nuts, a keeper mountedfor sliding and rocking movement on the pins, an integrallip on the-keeper, a lug on the keeper selectively engageable in the notches, and springs engaged with the keeper in a manner to yieldingly retain said keeper in operative position.
